I had a very very serious Sheltie who was a beta-status dog… just itchin’ to be alpha, and she lifted her leg to pee, even after she was spayed.

I have 2 boys right now (and more than 2 bitches…) and both are quite apt at leaving pee-messages where ever they want to – even while being pulled along…. it just becomes more cursive-style writing. If I see gardens or whatever in our path, I try to steer them off the sidewalk around those areas, but really now. It rains like crazy here, the pee is gone – whooosh.

There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they’re quite convinced the’re right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade.

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
“These oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light.”
Now there’s no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.”
